Slap Ya Mama Giveaway

Bite and Booze is proud to team up with Slap Ya Mama Cajun Seasoning for the holidays and present you, the loyal Bite and Booze readers, with a chance to win great Slap Ya Mama gift bags! Slap Ya Mama is a Cajun seasoning company from Ville Platte, La. which produces an array of seasoning options including their original Cajun seasoning, a white pepper blend, hot sauce, fish fry, and seafood boil. What sets Slap Ya Mama apart from other similar Cajun seasonings is that their mixture contains more red pepper and other spices that make great tasting Cajun dishes without filling the product with such high levels of sodium that leave you with over-salted food. Slap Ya Mama is "recommended for all dishes, from popcorn to seafood, breakfast to late night snacks, gourmet foods to French fries."

I love Slap Ya Moma. You can use Slap Ya Moma like pepper, where you have to use Tony's like salt. With Slap Ya Moma, you don't have to worry about making something too salty if you want it spicier. It's as simple as that. Anyway, I have three favorite cajun meals. The first is simply my own homemade gumbo. It's delish. The second is the duck and sausage gumbo at the Chimes. It's just the best store-bought gumbo available. The third is the Third Row Crawfish Boil, about the fourth batch or so. That's when it starts getting just about to heaven on earth to me.

My favorite thing about cajun food is the people that cook it. They have such passion for their cuisine and are always proud and happy to share. I like that they can "pass a good time" while cooking: jokes, dancing, laughing :)

I must give a shout out to 2 of my favorite cajuns: Miss Sonja Ardoin and Nicky Speyrer

I am a Cajun boy from LA that's been living in rural Alaska for 4 years... How can I survive being away from home? Slap Ya Mama!! Thank You SYM--I've cooked all my favorites: etuffe, gumbo, jambalaya, sauce picante, and of course eggs & rice, but you wouldn't believe what else it's good on! Duck, geese, caribou, moose, salmon, smelt, grizzly bear, porcupine, & arctic hare, to name a few. Talk about converts!! I have to bring back half-a-dozen cans every time I visit home just to pass out to Native Alaskan friends & visiting teachers to my village.

Okay, now for my normal voice. I would love to try some more of the Slap Yo Mama spices. Having migrated to NC since Katrina I can tell you we need some more Cajun spice up here. Miss a lot of ingredients this way including some good ole Cajun spices.

I have in fact slapped my own mother because of the flavor of this special seasoning which I hold close to my heart. After said slap, the woman whom spent hours in labor giving birth to me all those years ago tasted the holy container of goodness herself and gave me a look as if to say,"I deserve atleast one more."

My brother who lives in Houston LOVES this stuff and kindly bought some and sent us some. We sprinkle it on fresh avocados, on our eggs, on our meats...everywhere. The sad thing is we can't buy it here in AZ, so this would be a wonderful treat.

Slap Ya Mama is the best! I'm a transplanted Louisianan who was given Slap Ya Mama as a gift from someone who found it in a gift shop in Missouri! I had it shipped for a while, but finally found it in a grocery store here in Oklahoma. Makes stuff so good it makes you want to "Slap Ya Mama".!

Honestly, I have never heard of Slap Ya Mama, I love the name and can't wait to try it. I have having a Mardi Gras Party for a friends birthday the end of Jan, would love to try these in the food I will be preparing!

I've got two friends that just moved to the Netherlands for work two months ago. They used Slap Ya Mama (like me) on everything! But they couldn't get it there or any other seasoning. So I went around town and got every local seasoning I could, including the largest size of every Slap Ya Mama. It cost me a fortune to ship it to them, but it was completely worth it! Now they have a little piece of home every time they cook. mepattonworking@gmail.com

I like Cajun/Creole food, but I'm not sure how authentic the food I've had is! It's hard to get it authentic up here in TN, but there is a place in our Farmer's Market that's supposed to make pretty authentic PoBoys and I've had one of them.

I'm still pretty new to Cajun cooking, but I can't get enough of it! I didn't always like spicy food. Now when I go home to New England, I'm always disappointed by how bland everything tastes. Last year I introduced my family to "Slap Ya Mama" seasoning when I brought it home for Christmas, and now they love it too (well, my own Mama might still be on the fence... but I know my Dad loves it). I'd love to send a gift package up to Massachusetts; I hope I win one! http://www.facebook.com/cwren3020 or kmarch3020@gmail.com

I love Cajun Food and make a few dishes. I do have to laugh when people ask me for Cajun recipes. Because I'm from the South, they think, of course, I know all about Cajun food. Hello! North Carolina is not even close to Cajun country. We're known for pork barbecue (-:

When I was a little girl I remember having Gumbo at girlscout camp...being I live in Minnesota, I doubt that was very cajun.

Last week, I decided to make Jambalaya ( http://cookwithshari.blogspot.com/2009/12/really-easy-jambalaya.html ) My husband had been whining for weeks about how he wanted jambalaya. I made it...and it was so good! I think these seasonings would be a fantastic addition, and I can't wait to try more cajun recipes!

the only thing missing from my daddy's gumbo recipe is some slap ya mama seasoning. he would never suggest it because he is respectful, but it would add just enough sass to make it the best ever!!! =) lsutigerball@aol.com

Congrats to Kristen, Cajun Chef Ryan, Megan Landry Champagne, Angela Bankston, and Kate March as the winners of the Slap Ya Mama Cajun Seasoning Giveaway!! Thanks to everyone for entering, and if you actually know me and can track me down, I'm sure I can get you some free SYM from my personal stash even if you didn't win.
